How can a 10 pound box equal 40 pounds of food when your measuring your Pets food portion from when the food is still in it's dehydrated state?

The food comes dehydrated at 10 pounds. When it is hydrated it gets the extra weight. So 10 pounds dehydrated equals 40 pounds of hydrated food. We hydrated the food at feeding time, it is hydrated in 3-4 minutes.

You reconstitute it with water. I feel like I am not fully understanding your question though. 10 pounds dry is measured out yes but the 40 lbs is when it is reconstituted.

Yes, we bought a 30 lb bag of dry dog food, and it filled it up to the top. scoop didn't fit for a few days, but now does. food has stayed nice a fresh as well!

Yes, I have been buying the 15 pound dry food for many months now and it contains the whole bag but with little room to spare so you will need to deplete the previous bag before you open the new one. I am usually a skeptic but this has impressed me. Hope this helps, Joe.

I Just weighed the the bucket in its original shipping packaging (just a perfect size box) and it came to 10.2 lbs altogether. The 7lbs 5 oz is probably just the total of the food pouches. With the plastic container, it came to 10lbs even. So no Idea where the 40lbs is coming from. Probably a way to try to justify the enormous shipping expense. Hope this helps.

There is a comma there indicating there is more than 1lb. Its a 1lb, 10.5 oz box. AKA 26.5oz or 750 grams.

Depends on how long the food is sitting in the hopper. How long will it take to go through ten pounds? I don't know, as I don't use my feeder every day. My guess is that if you are using the feeder every single day for every meal then the food will stay 'fresh' until it's depleted. But if it's sitting in there for weeks, well, I don't think so. Hope that helps.

You press the button and it goes to zero. If you are using another container other than the bowl that comes with it, after setting the container on the scale you press the button to zero and then the only thing weighed is the contents.

2 pounds is equal to 32 oz. Remember that these are crystals, not a liquid solution, so that is 32 dry ounces (by weight), not fluid ounces (by volume). I say this because some uses will have a recipe based on fluid ounces of a solution. If that's what you need, you'll have to make the solution of the appropriate strength, and then measure your fluid ounces. Please be certain you know what you are doing - this chemical is extremely dangerous if used incorrectly.

In my experence, this design doesn't properly measure anything. The problem is that you have to thread brittle pasta through a hole that, when filled, measures a specified number of servings.I f you want to measure weight with any such product, then you could measure how many servings are in a pound box and divide that into 16oz.

Pretty sure it's a 40lb bag, with a shipping weight of 39lbs. This is a good price for 40lbs of Perfect Mix, delivered. Only price better would be $20 locally, if you can find it.

A 15 lb. bag did not quite fill the container. I would say 40 lbs. would require a larger container.

It says on the information that it holds 25 pounds in the larger bottom one and 10 pounds in the top smaller one. I am not sure about dog food, but I myself have 2 different types of dry food for my cats and that is why I have this to keep it separated. I was able to get 12 pounds in the top and 12 in the bottom a lot of room to spare in both. Despite the fact the it states the top is only supposed to hold 10. I am sure it depends on the food, and I am not familiar with dog food. I just know that I have plenty of room for what kinds of food I use for my cats and again, room to spare. Hope this helps.

Sounds like your dimensions fit the 60lb size better than the 40lb? I have the 60lb. 50lb of dog food fit easily with lid on side. $4 or $5 for 50% more storage is a bargain but do you need such a big one say for rice or flour. Perhaps if you have a restaurant? Also recommend one of those large aluminum scoops. They are fairly cheap and very useful for bulk transfers.

It holds a 35 lb bag with no problem. I have a 40 lb bag, which has larger kibble. Not able to get the entire bag into the container. Had to go to the next size up in the Vittles line. Density of the food does matter.

I only have 9 oz boxes. I opened the last one up and there were 16 chewees in there. But, I would venture to guess that might not be uniform from box to box. If you get a REALLY BIG chewee in there, there might be less...or if you could get more small ones. Unlike with people food, I don't think there's as much consistency of product.

Much closer to 40 lbs then 20 lbs. In my opinion it depends how dense the food is. I put a 34 lb bag of Iams and there is room to spare.

I don't recall. I just wipe with Clorox wipes I don't place food directly on scale. It has a tare feature to weigh the container first then the food.
